GM Update — KCK Location to Close December 30, 2025
On June 30, we notified the Unified Government of Kansas City, Kansas of our intent to terminate our operating agreement at 501 Minnesota Avenue. Our Kansas City, Kansas location will close December 30, 2025. This decision is based on what’s best for the long-term viability of the co-op and the location’s financial performance. We have loved being a part of this community for the last half decade and thank those that have supported our co-op and shopped with us.
